I hate my life.

Will it be possible to get this thing out with an easy-out?

 

highly unlikely since they are torqued at 130lbs if never taken off. Try taking it to an automotive shop and see if they can get it off with out screwing it up, or machine shop. Good luck

 

time to buy a new crank

 

If the head is off the stud should be loose enough to un-thread without much effort. If you have some thread exposed, a pair of vice grips should be all you need. If no exposed thread then a left hand drill bit (1/4") should do the trick. Start drilling and when it catches a bit it'll un-thread the stud. Access might be a bit tight.

The crank is far from junk.

 

Your fuct man. how tight did you torque that thing?

 

HMm if the head is off the pulley should be able to come off. If so you should have enough left sitting out to grab on to with a set of vise grips

 

Thanks, I'm goning to start drilling out the center, I picked up a 1/4 inch easy-out.

 

Have fun breaking the easy out.

 

It actauly came out pretty easily. Guess once the head popped off most of the pressure was released. Thanks for all the positive posts. And happy 1000th post to me!
